The swap is complete... I just finished the wires and reinstalled the headlights, I have to finish bolting up the bumper cover and clean the car up. I started with a flood car that was a 4 port automatic. I bought a 6 speed manual car, upon purchasing the car I realized the engine was bad. So I got the ideal of converting my 4 port engine into a 6 speed car... I realize the horsepower difference and have gotten many comments asking what the point is... I want to drive the car is the point... It would take me much to long to rebuild it and it would prolong the project. This way I have a everyday driver (I have a 2004 SLK230 mercedes...) and I can work on the 6 port engine as I aquire the money to do so. I should have the car to 100% completion tomorrow evening when I get off work lol. I have put around 40-50 hours into the car and have about 3000 dollars in the car completed so I figure I havnt done to bad. The only way I recomend this undertaking is if you are a 18 year old fresh out of high school (I am) and have nothing better to spend you summer on while your not working LMFAO!!! Anyway if anyone is interested in the swap just drop me a message and I can answer any questions... BTW changing a non HID car to a HID car is NO big deal if you can do without the leveling BS...
